A mid month update.

I've been back to work for a week now. And I hate it. I miss my little punky monkey so much. I am jealous of my mom and my friend Erin (our Au Pair) because they get to spend all the fun active time with Isla. I only get 1 period of active Isla before bed. I know it will get better as she begins to go longer between feedings and takes fewer naps. But it gets harder and harder to leave her, not easier and easier like I thought it would.
I can't WAIT for a day off. But on the upside, now I have time to blog again. Hopefully I will remember to do so more regularlly.

Cloth diapers are going great still. I tried out a Bum Genius Organic OS AIOs last night and I loved it. The organic cotton is SO much better than whatever is in the BG pockets. The cotton absorbs quickly like my Kissaluvs and GMD prefolds. It's like the perfect marriage. So today I ordered a 12 pack (with snaps!). Justin is excited about snapping diapers. And frankly so am I. Aplix is a pain in the rear. It never stays stuck to the laundry tabs.
We'll still be able to use our KL0s for a few more weeks at least so I plan to order more BGs when the KL0s get too small. I debated getting all the fun colors, but white is really just more practical since it doesn't show thru light colored clothing. I currently always find myself searching for a white cover because my colored ones don't go with her outfit.

Laughing is on the horizon. I'm expecting giggles any day now. We sometimes get one excited "HA" out of her, but no real giggles yet.
Erin says tummy time is going better. Isla still doesn't like it, but she tolerates it. Yes, I pawned tummy time off on the au pair (I like this word so much more than nanny or babysitter). I get so little time with my girl I don't want any of it to be time I have to make her unhappy.
And sleeping is still going famously. I really hope she continues to have good sleep habits. She goes down pretty late, but so do I. So it works for us. She normally sleeps around 8 hours a night, but lately she's had a few 11 hour stretches. She weighs over 10 lbs now. And we took her to her second movie, My Life In Ruins, the other day. She was just enthralled. She sat on my lap and watched nearly half the movie (the other half she was eating).
